<p>Merriweather Sans is a low-contrast semi-condensed sans-serif text typeface
family designed to be pleasant to read at very small sizes. Merriweather Sans
is traditional in feeling despite the modern shapes it has adopted for
screens.</p>

<p>Merriweather Sans is an evolving project and will be updated. As of now
there are 8 styles: Light, Regular, Bold, and ExtraBold weights in Roman and Italic styles.</p>

<p>There is also <a
href="http://www.google.com/fonts/specimen/Merriweather">Merriweather</a>, a serif version which closely harmonizes with the weights and
styles of this sans-serif family.</p>

<p>Designed by Eben Sorkin, Merriweather Sans features a large x height,
slightly condensed letterforms, a mild diagonal stress and open forms.</p>

<p>Merriweather Sans is a work in progress and will be improved regularly.
This means you can request improvements and even fund specific features if if
they are outside of the current scope of work. For more information and to

<p>Updated in June 2013 with italic styles.</p>

<p>
<b>Updated in January 2016:</b>
This revision improves on-screen rendering especially at text sizes with ttfautohint hinting.
Merriweather Sans will work better when installed on desktops. 
Some OpenType features were added and improved.
Since the vertical and horizontal metrics changed, this may cause some text to reflow in some browsers.
A second update (v1.006) was made on 1/25 to fix ligatures and other digraphs.
